Presumably because many African countries were formerly French colonies, and after they were freed they were allowed to come into France Freely—especially from Nigeria.

So, France has a lot of Muslim citizens.

Can we use our tax dollars to buy one way tickets for our aspiring jihadists? I would much rather see them fight the Syrian army than fight our wives and children at the mall. I just hope and pray that Assad will win that civil war (I despise him, but his enemies are far worse).

France has been fighting (And winning) it’s wars with Islam for 1400 years. So it makes sense that ISIS targets the French

Battle of Tours, the “turning point”. Islam has been on the outs with the French since then (732AD)

Why can’t we just skip the nationality since it is not politically correct to have a nation with borders, and call these people Muslims who hide in other cultures for terrorist purposes?

Then we would all see the pattern of the problem.

Good—best to have them anyplace rather tan France. See what just a few can do—what could 1,000 armed Jihadists do?
